Everything about them - longer shootouts, more strategy involved in actual gunfights, even down to stuff like differing (and more enjoyable) weapons. It's probably just me but when playing Call of Duty I'll 'unlock' all these new guns every few levels, and none of them really feel any different to me except if they're in different sub-classes.

CoD does not encourge experimentation in gun style because the skill level is so high you will never master a gun style if you switch styles early on. This is very apparent in the upgrading system as a person has lo log in hours for each gun to upgrade it to it'sfull potential. It takes mastery and is not a pick up and be the best style it requires a lot of play to get good. The "shootout" sty;e is built for any body to pick up and be decent more quickly, I would say. I do agree most guns in each class are useless, but I find many guns with different ratings that work better on different maps. For example, I would have a shorter range scar for close range maps and an ACR for long range maps. The strategy for Cod is different and does not have any less strategy. Shootouts have zero camping and very little snipers which are both styles that add a ton of variety to the game. In fact, I actually think Cod has way more styles due to skill perks, kill streaks, etc. I would say shootout games are way more bare-bone in style other than they have unique weapons.
